Default Where to have them installed???

If somebody didn't want to hassle with installing wheel spacers, where could they go to have it done? Most tire/wheel places won't install them for liabilty reasons??? That's what I have heard before anyway.

I mean it seems fairly straight foreward but I have heard from a few that it's a little more involved then they thought it would be to DIY

How big of spacers are you using? There are two kinds of spacers that I have seen. The first kind just slips over your existing studs, which if they are those kind I HIGHLY reccomend getting some longer studs while you are at it. Then, there are the kind that bolt to your existing suds and the spacer itself has its own studs in which you mount the wheel on. If this is the case then you will have to get some open end lugs to secure the spacer on with. The open end lugs should fit between your wheel and the hub. I had this setup with a 1" spacer and it worked fine.

They would be 15MM H&R spacers with the longer bolts, included. Not going to use any spacers on the front.

Try a tire shop and explain to them that you have longer studs as well. Otherwise it isn't hard to do it yourself.
